Default This is my new "normal"

I haven't been here since March, I had it in my "head" that I was getting better and didn't feel the need to be here...Denial of some sort. When I came back I thought it was a good sign that I remembered my password and screen name. then I spent 10 minutes trying to remember how to start a new thread. I still need to be here.

It's been 7 months since my car accident and I think, for me, the symptoms that I still exhibit are now my new "normal." The headaches have subsided. I will always have the extremely loud ringing in my ears. I have the brain fog, memory loss, .....The last symptom to join the others is heightened senses. Many things are too loud, my sense of smell and taste are so intense. I never did find a doctor that could help me or understand me. there are also very few people that still believe that "I am not faking it"
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help in those early months.

Thanks-I never thought of it as learning to live as the new me, just living my new "normal" I am open for any thoughts/suggestions that you might have.
